                     NOTE.

The secret to getting more is gratitude. The agenda of God can't be fulfilled without the participation of men and women. God is interested in your motives and intentions. God is interested in the reason behind the activity. The fact that the prayer point sounds nice does not mean it's valid. The characteristics of what God will use is depending on your heart.
